This study attempted to propose a plan to develop smart disaster prevention by applying the technologies of the 4th Industrial Revolution at each stage of disaster management to cope with the catastrophic situation of fire accidents. To this end, 150 disaster prevention experts and disaster prevention consumers were set as research subjects, and research data were collected and statistical analysis was conducted by distributing questionnaires. The main result was that disaster prevention experts and consumers commonly regarded the systematic factors of smart disaster prevention as the most important, and the difference in perception of the importance of each smart disaster prevention component was not statistically significant. Based on these results, this researcher suggested that in order for Korea's smart disaster prevention technology to develop, it is important for many researchers to research individual smart disaster prevention technologies, but above all, systematic R&D on how to manage, integrate them, and apply them in actual situations should be most preemptively.

The patents trends registered in korea, the USA, Japan and Europe were analyzed to forecast the direction of R&D for the technology of sediment disaster. As a result of portfolio analysis, the number of patents in Korea have continued to rise, but have been placed behind the other countries. The level of technology of each country was investigated. In the survey technology and sensing technology, the Korean and USA situations were classified as a period of growth, and the Japanese situation was classified as a period of decline. In the control technology and protection technology, Korean situation was classified as a period of growth, and the Japanese situation was classified as a period of decline. As a result of analysis for a direction of R&D using blank technologies, standardization of analysis technologies for mechanism, fusion techniques between ICT and conventional techniques, development of eco-friendly materials and evaluation of structure should be developed by R&D in Korea.

Typically, quick and easily deployed communication for a clear disaster management is required in a disaster situation. But it is not easy because lack of backbone network and poor conditions of disaster site. it is possible to obtain a wide service coverage and low power with portable wireless mesh network technology. In this paper, we developed portable wireless mesh network gateway with a network processor and evaluate it's performance including throughput, latency delay, packet loss, etc. The experiments show our wireless mesh network gateway has basic performance and can be used in various environments like disaster site.

It is very difficult to forecast accurately a damage from the natural disasters which occurs frequently. If the significant weather event was forecasted one or two days ago, we will be able to minimize a damage from the severe weather event through the suitable prevention activities. It said that 2000's our country's total damages from the meteorological disasters was several trillion won(Park et al, a, b, 2005). Therefore, we analyzed the Korea Meteorological Administration(KMA) and television broadcasting's reports, information contents, and transmission system, an ex post facto valuation about typhoon Nabi which struck the Korean peninsula from September 5 to 7, 2005. Through these investigations, we want to present the basic data to rises the application effect of disaster prevention meteorological information. We think KMA must present many information report to promote a citizen's understanding about the meteorological information and the serious disaster situation. And also we think the KMA and television broadcasting must present an advisable reports, the contents which is suitable to disaster response stages. And we must grasp the problem of disaster prevention meteorological information through an ex post facto examination, improve it effectively.

All kinds of disasters are occurring for several reasons in modern cities. So, We need the disaster management system to deal with them at this point that Those disasters are getting larger and more frequent. We organized the database into three categories; the traffic accident database on traffic accidents that is recognized as a typical disaster resulting from vehicles's increasement rapidly in modern urban life, the gas explosion disaster database on gas explosion that causes to fatal damage through broad areas, and the bridge management database that contains bridge resource information and repair record. In this study, we developed the Disaster Management System using the wireless internet GIS that can access the database and identify field information for the accident area in emergency situation as well as can modify and update the database in field directly, so that can cope with the disaster situations effectively.

According to industrial disaster statistics by the Ministry of Labor in 2006, out of 11,688,797 people working at 1,292,696 business places that apply Industrial Disaster Indemnity Act, 89,910 workers were involved in an accident that more than 4 days of medical treatment requires. Among this figure 2,453 people lost their precious lives. "89,910 industrial disaster victims per annum" is showing the safety level of our industrial situation. To prevent such industrial disaster, the most typical and distinctive method is Accident-free Campaign. At the beginning, the movement arose with devotion through out the entire industry. But, the heartbreaking fact is that the fever is getting cool gown as times goes by. Therefore, opportunity for revitalization of this movement is required. The movement should be practically supporting principle of respect for human life and dignity. And it should be established with analysis on industrial disaster and systematize Accident-free Campaign totally in connected research.

Traditional town with wooden houses like Japanese historic local town is vulnerable to disaster. Wooden houses crowed in this study area, there is no gap between buildings and buildings. When disaster occurs, they can not use evacuation routes based on the value of probability of rubble flow. Disaster prevention design of traditional town using spatial information for residents is a modern idea in the field of disaster prevention study. Therefore, it is basically important and effective to create information, especially on the current situation such as dangerousness of the area. Here, we report on a disaster prevention design regarding probability of street blockade and probability of rubble flow at a large earthquake directly under our study area. In this study, we explain about necessity of temporary evacuation areas like open space. As a result, we found some ideas to secure evacuation routes from traditional houses to designated refuge places using temporary evacuation areas.

This paper describes a novel disaster evacuation system using embedded systems such as smart devices for crisis and emergency management. In indoor environments deployed with the Bluetooth Low Energy(BLE) beacons, smart devices detect their indoor positions from beacon messages and interact with Map Server(MS) and Route Server(RS) in the Internet over the LTE and/or Wi-Fi functions. The MS and RS generate an optimal path to the nearest emergency exit based on a novel graph generation method for less route computation, called the Disaster Evacuation Graph(DEG), for each smart device. The DEG also enables efficient processing of some constraints in the computation of route, such as load balancing in situation of different capacities of paths or exits. All data interfaces among three system components, the MS, RS, smart devices, have been defined for modular implementation of our disaster evacuation system. Our experimental system has been deployed and tested in our building thoroughly and gives a good evidence that the modular design of the system and a novel approach to compute emergency route based on the DEG is competitive and viable.
